As a 72-hour ceasefire took hold on Tuesday along the border between Gaza and Israel, where Israel Defense Forces troops have pulled back after destroying three dozen tunnels, Israeli media and blogs focusing on the conflict have returned to the question of how many died in the fighting.

A senior military source told Times of Israel that the Army counted 900 Hamas militants of the 1,800 Gazans believed to have been killed, meaning a 1:1 kill ratio of civilians to combatants, which would be in-line with Israel’s previous two wars against Hamas in Gaza.

On the Israeli side, Hamas’s 3,000 rockets caused mayhem, but few deaths, mainly because of Israeli use of bomb shelters and stairwells during attacks, as well as the Iron Dome missile defense shield that shot down rockets aimed straight at Israel’s biggest population centers. Rather than “homemade rockets,” the war saw Hamas using much larger and more sophisticated Iranian Fajr-5 and Syrian M-302 missiles to strike Israel, reaching all the way to its northern border.
